1. Overview
Using patented MultiSynth™ technology, the Si5341/40 generates up to 10 unique clock frequencies, each with 0 ppm frequency syn-
thesis error. Each output clock has an independent VDDO reference and selectable signal format, simplifying format/level translation.
The loop filter is fully integrated on-chip eliminating the risk of potential noise coupling associated with discrete solutions.The Si5341/40
is ideally suited for simplifying clock tree design by minimizing the number of timing components required. The Si5341/40 supports
factory or in-circuit programmable non-volatile memory, enabling the device to power up in a user-specified configuration. The default
configuration may be overwritten at any time by reprogramming the device via I2C/SPI.
1.1 Work Flow Expectations with ClockBuilder Pro and the Register Map
This reference manual is to be used to describe all the functions and features of the parts in the product family with register map
details on how to implement them. It is important to understand that the intent is for customers to use the ClockBuilder Pro software to
provide the initial configuration for the device. Although the register map is documented, all the details of the algorithms to implement
a valid frequency plan are fairly complex and are beyond the scope of this document. Real-time changes to the frequency plan and
other operating settings are supported by the devices. However, describing all the possible changes are not a primary purpose of this
document. Refer to Applications Notes and
article links within the ClockBuilder Pro GUI for information on how to
implement the most common, real-time frequency plan changes.
The primary purpose of the software is that it saves having to understand all the complexities of the device. The software abstracts the
details from the user to allow focus on the high level input and output configuration, making it intuitive to understand and configure for
the end application. The software walks the user through each step, with explanations about each configuration step in the process to
explain the different options available. The software will restrict the user from entering an invalid combination of selections. The final
configuration settings can be saved, written to an EVB and a custom part number can be created for customers who prefer to order
a factory preprogrammed device. The final register maps can be exported to text files, and comparisons can be done by viewing the
settings in the register map described in this document.
